The basic theory of ergonomics is "suitable for human physiological and psychological factors". An excellent office furniture design must be the product of the mutual harmony between the user, the office furniture, the office environment and so on.
Modern office furniture design, its core is "human", also is that users must give full consideration to the user demand, focusing on furniture and user direct relationship, in the use of in the process of fully taking into account the user's feelings.
